Reordering artboards / double clicking an artboard zooms me into that artboard
I experience the following disorienting app behaviour.
How to reproduce:
1. Zoom out with all the artboards in view.
2. In the artboard list, find which artboard is highlighted.
3. Click-and-drag that artboard. (Don't even really need to reorder it)
Expected behavior:
Nothing asides from reordering the artboards.
Actual behavior:
I am now zoomed into that artboard. I then have to zoom back out and continue reordering artboards at my desired birds-eye-view distance.

This is expected to be fixed in the latest Beta Build 29.5.0.15 — the double-click on the item in the Artboards panel now should not zoom to the artboard on canvas, hooray! Please check if this now behaves as expected and comment back

This is still not working perfect in all cases.
If you have a name with only one character in it (like '1'), double-clicking the item to rename it will still zoom into the corresponding artboard. The team is aware.
Does it behave the same for you? -

The Artboards panel has been ideally improved in this version. Fantastic! -
Can confirm it is currently working as intended in 29.5 15!
- Clicking and dragging to reorder artboards no longer causes a zoom-in.
- Double-clicking the artboard name allows you to rename the artboard without zooming in.
- Double-clicking the artboard number allows you to zoom into that artboard.Thank you!

Yep, it feels like it’s treated like a second click on a name. Very annoying!

Can you make it so that when you double click on an artboard name in the Artboards palette/window, the page view DOES NOT jump and zoom to that artboard.
I often want to organise artboards and rename some of them with them ALL IN VIEW.
It is so infuriating that I lose sight of all the other boards. Unnecessary and unhelpful.
Maybe make this an option so people can still jump to and zoom if they want? Yes I get that for some cases people want to treat art-boards the way they treat pages in Indesign but it's not really applicable in most cases.
